Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. There are forty articles dealing with various aspects of the phenomenons. In fact the definition of Crusade is covered in one of them. The work deals mostly with the Palestinian domains but even the Baltic efforts get some coverage. This is a good book to check with to see if there has been recent work in an area of one's personal interest, but it is not a good first look at the Crusades. I'd call it an investment for the serious student of the field. The prose is of varying quality, the maps and illustrations adequate. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Routledge Worlds (2015)
The Crusader World is a multidisciplinary survey of the current state of research in the field of crusader studies, an area of study which has become increasingly popular in recent years. In this volume Adrian Boas draws together an impressive range of academics, including work from renowned scholars as well as a number of though-provoking pieces from emerging researchers, in order to provide broad coverage of the major aspects of the period. This authoritative work will play an important role in the future direction of crusading studies. This volume enriches present knowledge of the crusades, addressing such wide-ranging subjects as: intelligence and espionage, gender issues, religious celebrations in crusader Jerusalem, political struggles in crusader Antioch, the archaeological study of battle sites and fortifications, diseases suffered by the crusaders, crusading in northern Europe and Spain and the impact of Crusader art. The relationship between Crusaders and Muslims, two distinct and in many way opposing cultures, is also examined in depth, including a discussion of how the Franks perceived their enemies. Arranged into eight thematic sections, The Crusader World considers many central issues as well as a large number of less familiar topics of the crusades, crusader society, history and culture. With over 100 photographs, line drawings and maps, this impressive collection of essays is a key resource for students and scholars alike. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
